I am unsure why we still do this since we have electric lights but

Because we live by the clock and not by the sun. And because we're mostly
'evening people'
If the sun rises an hour earlier, most folks won't get up/go out an hour
earlier to enjoy it. But if it sets an hour later, they will stay up/go out an
hour earlier.
And, in many cities, a later sunset simply means the chances of getting mugged
are less....as the muggers sleep late...so they miss the sunrise.
